Exoplanetas (or Exoplanets) was born out of a proposal made by Oporto's Planetarium to our school, in order to give a visual (and easier) explanation of a much harder subject to understand: the search for exoplanets. The project focuses on how astronomers find these planets outside of our solar system, depicting two of its most used methods nowadays: the transit method and the radial velocity method.
Due to its nature, this animation was far from ordinary, since we were no longer planning for a screen, but for a large dome. Even with our many setbacks, we gave everyting we had and we worked very carefully so that our final project would look perfect on a planetarium.
